Gumline Recontouring from Charleston Dental Associates

Charleston Dental Associates offers gumline recontouring or aesthetic crown lengthening treatments to our patients throughout the Charleston SC area.

“In cosmetic dentistry, gumline recontouring, also known as aesthetic crown lengthening or a gum lift, is a dental procedure that raises and sculpts the gum line. This procedure involves reshaping the tissue to create the appearance of longer or more symmetrical teeth, thereby making the smile more aesthetically pleasing. This procedure is typically done to reduce excessively gummy smiles or to balance out an asymmetrical gum line.” Wikipedia

An aesthetic crown lengthening or gumline recontouring is a safe and predictable procedure for reshaping gum tissue for patients whose teeth seem to be too short or when the gumline is shaped unevenly.

Charleston Dental Associates offers gumline recontouring or aesthetic crown lengthening when:

  • The patient’s gum line extends too low and covers much of the teeth
  • The patient’s gum line is not symmetrical, or lower or higher on a single tooth
  • Periodontal disease, trauma, or genetics have caused the patient’s gums to appear chronically swollen or red
